history
➳ Born the bastard child of a Ylissean nobleman and Feroxi mercenary, Larka was raised by her mother in Regna Ferox with her younger brother after their mother fled Ylisse due to a falling out with the noble family she served.
➳ As most Feroxi youth, Larka was taught to live and breathe warfare. Her mother was a soldier for the East Khan, and Larka had aspirations to become the Khan’s champion when she was old enough. From a young age, Larka and her brother were taught to wield a sword, following after their Myrmidon mother. Larka was the only one who stuck with it, however, as her brother found talent in the magical arts and embraced the very much un-Feroxi ways of a Mage.
➳ Larka’s expectations, however, were dashed during a hunting expedition South, where she found herself pinned to a tree by her sword-hand, which had been impaled by a javelin. The bandits responsible robbed and killed her companions, but Larka was able to hide after ripping herself free. Due to the circumstances of the injury, lost consciousness, and a fractured foot, she made it back to civilization after a week and a half. By that time, infection had set in and tough Clerics were able to repair most of the damage, her hand was never the same. She could not grip a sword, lance, or axe properly. However, the damage allowed her to hold a bow steady with the injured hand and draw an arrow back with the other.
➳ In time, she was embraced the bow. And vengeance. Four months of her life were dedicated to tracking down the bandits that had caused her injury and killed her companions. Once she located them, she took them out one by one, patiently waiting opportunities often weeks apart. When only one remained, she slit his throat in his sleep.
➳ When Larka returned from her “mission,” she received news that her nobleman father had died and, lacking an heir, his family had taken her brother back with them to Ylisse, most likely against his will. She proceeded to track the party across the border.
➳ News reached her that the caravan was attacked by Risen, with no apparent survivors. Larka refuses to give up hope that her brother was killed and has become somewhat of a wanderer, living off the land and making ends meet through mercenary work.
Weapon: Bow
Birthday: December 1
Four Base Classes: Archer, Thief, Myrmidon, Cavalier
Notes: Though her injury permanently damaged her dominant hand, Larka is still able to wield a sword, axe, or lance in her opposite hand, albeit without the strength that a two-handed grip would allow. The injury itself is mainly scar tissue, but is easily noticed by the observant eye.
Larka is admittedly a beginning archer, though she has improved drastically over a year of steady training.
OOC: Nienna, 17
